A32839	A treatise wherein is demonstrated, I. That the East-India trade is the most national of all foreign trades, II. That the clamors, aspersions, and objections made against the present East-India company, are sinister, selfish, or groundless, III. That since the discovery of the East-Indies, the dominion of the sea depends much upon the wane or increase of that trade, and consequently the security of the liberty, property, and protestant religion of this kingdom, IV. That the trade of the East-Indies cannot be carried on to national advantage, in any other way than by a general joynt stock, V. That the East-India trade is more profitable and necessary to the kingdom of England, than to any other kingdom or nation in Europe by Philopatris.	Child, Josiah, Sir, 1630-1699.	1681 (1681)	Wing C3866; ESTC R19413	24,211	48

there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n in_o a_o nation_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la the_o italian_a merchant_n may_v quarrel_v the_o portugal_n merchant_n because_o they_o do_v now_o in_o a_o

nation_n just_o as_o it_o be_v and_o will_v prove_v in_o the_o turkey_n trade_n the_o simile_n hold_v and_o will_v hold_v throughout_o 7._o if_o those_o turkey_n merchant_n think_v the_o east-india_n trade_n so_o good_a why_o do_v they_o not_o come_v into_o it_o themselves_o the_o door_n be_v open_a always_o to_o they_o and_o all_o the_o king_n subject_n buy_v and_o sell_v there_o be_v daily_o

company_n answ._n first_o i_o answer_v first_o by_o legitimate_a merchant_n i_o suppose_v they_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v serve_v apprenticeship_n to_o merchant_n in_o the_o number_n whereof_o i_o believe_v they_o reckon_v short_a above_o half_a 2._o that_o it_o matter_n not_o two_o straw_n to_o the_o kingdom_n whether_o they_o be_v legitimate_a in_o their_o sense_n or_o illegitimate_a in_o the_o whole_a they_o be_v now_o five_o hundred_o fifty_o and_o six_o which_o be_v more_o by_o a_o great_a many_o than_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n and_o more_o by_o above_o half_a then_o they_o will_v

for_o any_o company_n etc._n etc._n answ._n i_o answer_v first_o this_o company_n have_v no_o more_o in_o their_o charter_n than_o all_o the_o east-india_n company_n in_o christendom_n have_v in_o their_o charter_n and_o from_o thence_o infer_v that_o either_o so_o much_o as_o be_v in_o the_o charter_n ought_v to_o be_v for_o public_a utility_n or_o ell_n all_o christendom_n except_o those_o few_o gentleman_n that_o complain_v be_v mistake_v in_o their_o politic_n 2._o though_o the_o charter_n run_v in_o the_o stile_n of_o the_o merchant_n of_o london_n trade_v to_o the_o east-indies_n yet_o in_o truth_n the_o company_n be_v a_o company_n of_o all_o or_o so_o many_o of_o the_o king_n subject_n as_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v concern_v in_o that_o trade_n or_o yet_o do_v they_o buy_v the_o stock_n of_o any_o dead_a person_n or_o other_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o sell._n object_n 3._o but_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v at_o 280_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n answ_n 1_o it_o be_v less_o than_o the_o intrinsique_n value_n if_o the_o stock_n be_v now_o to_o be_v break_v up_o if_o i_o can_v calculate_v aright_o 2._o if_o it_o be_v too_o dear_a i_o know_v not_o but_o any_o man_n may_v be_v as_o

the_o charter_n have_v exorbitant_a and_o illegal_a clause_n in_o it_o answ_n 1_o i_o believe_v no_o charter_n in_o europe_n have_v less_o of_o that_o kind_n 2._o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o public_a good_a that_o whoever_o govern_v a_o trade_n so_o remote_a from_o england_n and_o by_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o hand_n as_o the_o company_n be_v force_v to_o employ_v shall_v

nor_o any_o ship_n or_o good_n that_o ever_o they_o seize_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o charter_n though_o they_o have_v have_v cause_n often_o object_n 4._o they_o say_v the_o company_n have_v impose_v and_o exact_v great_a fine_n mulct_n and_o forfeiture_n to_o a_o immense_a value_n answ._n i_o never_o know_v they_o take_v any_o fine_a or_o forfeiture_n but_o what_o any_o man_n may_v do_v in_o the_o same_o case_n without_o a_o charter_n what_o they_o do_v take_v in_o any_o case_n be_v either_o by_o submission_n of_o the_o party_n by_o agreement_n with_o the_o master_n and_o owner_n

which_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n be_v a_o part-owner_n myself_o of_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o ship_n employ_v by_o they_o and_o yet_o to_o do_v the_o company_n right_a i_o must_v

that_o sail_n out_o of_o england_n and_o the_o commander_n and_o officer_n of_o such_o ship_n general_o grow_v much_o rich_a in_o a_o short_a time_n than_o any_o other_o of_o any_o trade_n or_o
